Exploring the city of Tours...
There are plenty of ideas at the Tourist Office of Tours: 78-82 rue Bernard Palissy - 37000 TOURS - Tel +33 (0)2 47 70 37 37 - http://www.tours-tourism.co.uk/
If you have time, there are several places of interest downtown:
- Take a walk along the Loire River,and in particular, do not hesitate to stop and have a drink at the 'Guinguette' (officially called 'Tours sur Loire', where you can also have lunch and listen to various types of music).
- Have a look at the Place Plumereau area (old city of Tours), where you'll find many little streets and cafés.
- The Rue Colbert is a nice street to find a place to eat.
- And if you feel like shopping, walk down the rue Nationale (straight across the Wilson bridge) and the adjacent streets.
- There is a always an exposition (photograph, painting,…) in the Chateau of Tours (from Tuesday to Sunday - 14h-18h) : informations here.
- And, of course, don't miss the cathedral (and art museum next door).
Enjoy !
